Lionel O-27 Berkshire 2-8-4

I have a later New York Central one from 2004, and is a very nice operating loco.

I have the Chessie Steam Speacial. The details and decoration are first rate. The locomotive operates very well, but the speed range could be a bit slower, command mode operations help with low speed operation. Overall, I’m very glad I made the purchase.

I have the santa fe one from a few years ago. Great runner! never lets me down.

I currently have two of these locomotives, one in Nickel Plate Road livery and one in Chesapeake & Ohio. I am very pleased with both of them and run them quite frequently on my layout with no problems whatsoever thus far. Great locos for the money.
